if you drain the tranny oil look for brass in the oil.
getting your revs right and double clutching properly is important. I never try to shift quickly, focus on smooth shifting. Ive bought cars that ad this problem and fixed them by shifting at the right speed, it wears the synchros back in..
if you get some driver that doesnt; know how to shift properly they will basically cause the synchros to wear or get roughened, sure you can take it all apart, thats expensive or a lot of work..
First I'd try to just really focus upon shifting at the right RPM and if the shifter doesn't want to move very gently , never force it in, instead, go back to the gear that best matches your car's speed. normally people just doubleclutch when downshifting but if you find yourself rolling along and its not in gear try doubleclutching anyway.
any time you are pulling the shifter and hearing it not cooperate, grind or clunk, you are basically wrecking the syncrro's ,
try to shift with just two fingers, not your whole hand. you'll be less tempted to get frustrated and bang it in, doing so will cause damage. doing that will help you feel better and remove the temptation to get aggressive.
if you want to run the snot out of your car, go ahead floor it ! but Id wait till second gar and don't try to make time with fast shifts.. If you aren't racing, you never need to shift fast. That's what causes it.
